    You totally summed up how i feel, bro. Ive been making practice books, flash cards,memorizing the fretboard, learning theory, chords, scales, songs, triads, CAGED, blah blah blah and I’m having such a hard time connecting it all and playing music.
    People see all my guitars and ask me to play something and i freeze and usually wind up playing some stuttering bullshit lol.
    Not to mention trying to understand how to approach electric and acoustic differently.
    I love this instrument and im in for life but goddamn this can be so overwhelming.
    I really appreciate your channel, man. Please keep it up.

      I just play songs I enjoy with increasingly levels of difficulty while focusing on correct technique. I intend on learning music theory later down the line but so far it’s been an enjoyable process for me. If you are in it for life no need to overwhelm yourself or you risk burning out

    After playing for a couple years off and on now ive been disappointed in my progress and ive made a list of all yhe songs ive sort of learned and forgot or just partially learned and its staggeringly long and shameful. The last couple weeks ive been pushing myself to learn all these songs fully and accurately and also some scales and crap. Had a teacher for a bit but had to stop cuz money and he gave me these resources i haven't truly memorized. So this is exactly what i need and have started doing and i hope this push moves me to the next level of my playing. Memorization seems obvious but putting in the reps and focus on doing one thing at a time until I actually know it is a lot.
